[QUOTE="The Agrarian, post: 1161542, member: 3656"] I'm having an issue with warts on milking heifers. Probably at a rate of about four or five in the hundred. Usually they calve in with some small warts, but once milking, the warts quickly spread to cover the whole teat in some cases. This can make it very difficult to get vacuum seal. We manage to get the cup to suck by rubbing on some cream to soften the warty skin. Unfortunately ive culled one which I eventually just couldn't get milked. It was bad enough to actually prevent her from coming to yield properly in the first place. Vet insists there is nothing can be done, just keep them soft. I imagine its probably some kind of HPV, so its a question of resistance. A few years back we would have had angleberries, and we got an innoculant made up from the lumps. Then the base chemical for the solution was banned, or something to that effect. Help, I'm pulling my hair out with two at the moment. Thanks [/QUOTE]
